Hey man, that is one of the problems I am having. I am using AC to DC Wall plugs. My power is fine going in, but it seems to lose alot of voltage and the amps suck once it goes thru. I am getting frustrated and thinking about trying the AC input, but dont see where it should matter. I figure probally something simple being missed.
Hope someone can shed light on this.

Hi I am new hear on this fourm and I am trying to build one of these power supplies. Instead of using a Transformer and a Bridge I wanted to use an AC adapter that has an output of 24V DC 1A. The problem is I get the varying voltage from 20V DC to about 8V DC and very little amperage about 100 milliamps max. I need to get between .3 amps to 1 amp. I don't know what is wrong any suggestions. Thanks Mikratt
